Medium-sized companies by industry type

Shading_sme_blog_post_4

What industry types are medium-sized companies per the UK government?  The answer can be found on in the data on the Small Business Service website.

I've created a graph of the top 25 industry types based on the governments coding structure and definition of an M being a 50 - 250 employee enterprise.  Guess what comes out top?  Other business services: Legal, accounting, auditing, tax, market research and consultancy. The 21st century business is living in a complex environment and as a result there is a sizable business services sector. Love it or hate it I can't see it going away.

Do you feel the same about your trade journal?
